I WANT TO SEE YOU
I WANT TO SEE YOU STANDING IN THE RAIN
I WANT TO SEE YOU NEVER FEELING PAIN
I WANT TO SEE YOU WHEN THE GIFT IS GAIN
I WANT TO SEE YOU WHEN THE BEAST IS SLAIN
I WANT TO SEE YOU SHED A TEAR NO MORE
I WANT TO SEE YOU KNOCK ON HEAVENS DOOR
I WANT TO SEE YOU EATING ALL THE FOOD
I WANT TO SEE YOU IN A BETTER MOOD
I WANT TO SEE YOU TEACH ME HOW TO DRIVE
I WANT TO SEE YOU BECAUSE I SURVIVED
I WANT TO SEE YOU CAUSE YOU LED THE WAY
I WANT TO SEE YOU ARE THE WORDS I PRAY
WHEN THE TIME COMES AND WE ARE RESTING, I THANK HIM FOR HIS LOVE AND HIS BLESSING
AND WE THANK AND PRAISE HIM FOR ALL HE HAS GIVEN, CAUSE WE KNOW THAT LIFE IS HARD AND ALL WORTH LIVING
I WANT TO SEE YOU WHEN I CRY THOSE TEARS
I WANT TO SEE YOU WHEN I FACE THESE FEARS
I WANT TO SEE YOU WHEN MY HEART IS DOWN
I WANT TO SEE YOU CAUSE 1M HEAVEN BOUND
I WANT TO SEE YOU WHEN MY LIFE GOES GRAY
I WANT TO SEE YOU AND HEAR WHAT YOU SAY
I WANT TO SEE YOU CAUSE I MISS WHAT WE HAD
I WANT TO SEE YOU HAND IN HAND WITH YOUR DAD
I WANT TO SEE YOU TALKING TO EVERYONE
I WANT TO SEE YOU WHEN OUR WORK IS DONE
I WANT TO SEE YOU COME AND RESCUE ME
I WANT TO SEE YOU AND WE ALL CAN AGREE
WHEN THE TIME COMES AND WE ARE RESTING, I THANK HIM FOR HIS LOVE AND HIS BLESSING
AND WE THANK AND PRAISE HIM FOR ALL HE HAS GIVEN, CAUSE WE KNOW THAT LIFE IS HARD AND ALL WORTH LIVING
I WANT TO SEE YOU SHARE WHAT YOU KNOW
I WANT TO SEE YOU RAIN SLEET OR SNOW
I WANT TO SEE YOU FIX THE BROKEN PARTS
I WANT TO SEE YOU MENDING BROKEN HEARTS
I WANT TO SEE YOU LEAD THE WAY
I WANT TO SEE YOU EACH AND EVERY DAY
I WANT TO SEE YOU
DEDICATED TO SAM FOTUALII

I would like to say that Sam was one of the Best Brothers I had. I had so many good times with him. I thank him for giving us words of encouragement to put God first in our lives. I will always remember the last few months of his life. It was so full of life. I will never forget his Child like smiles. Last, I would like to say “Sam I love you so much and miss you a lot.” Say “Hello” to Ben & Papa. I will see you in Heaven.
Hi, Sam we miss you. I know you are smiling down from a better place Heaven. We know that God didn’t make a mistake when he took you home. My most recent funniest moments with you is when you had asked me to start the song and I thought to myself he must have forgotten to take his pills. hahaha
Will always remember you and We love you too! Say “Hi to Ben & Papa”.
Those We Love Remain Part of Us “Our loved ones leave the world, but never our hearts.” I love you brother Sam and I will always remember the good times we had. Have fun in heaven and we’ll meet you there in the end.
Your sis,
Elaine
sam,
Thank you Sam for all your advices and all the love that you’ve shared with everyone around you. It’s going to be sad not having you around, coming over after fixing something at the church and ask if dinner’s ready. You sure did bring a lot of joy to a lot of people, especially mom, she’ll sit there and just talk about all the good memories she had with you and then she’ll stare into space and put on her thinking face while her eyes begin to water up. We’ve never pictured everything going this way but God alwayz has a different agenda. Point is, you’re happy and pain free! You’re a lucky man!! You will be greatly missed, but we can’t wait to see you when it’s our time. Say hi to Ben and Papa and my grandma!! I love you Sam!!
Sam,
Man…I miss U but I know that I will see you in heaven some day together with my brother BEN…I love you and see you when we get there!!!!
Love Niecey…
POEM By Michael Childress
I remember the days when they all went to school. They played and joked and sometimes broke the rules. Sam was the oldest of all his siblings who’d soon follow. In each others joys, laughter and love they would wallow. Learning new things even a new language to speak. Far from timid not even close to being meek. Sam led the way not always being right. Just to see and do what was out of Dad’s sight. To experience the world and it’s foretold glory and aspire to return home and relive his story. To become the man in the place of his dad. Only to realize the unseen struggles he had. Sam said I came to terms with my maker, my family, my wife and from each gained respect, knowledge, and new life. I now reside with my brother, father and my Lord. Laughing and living all in one accord. Sam spoke these words to his family that he was not scared. He just wants us like him to be fully prepared.
